From what I have read they are truly American proprietary drivetrain, and uniquely well engineered. I will need a lottery jackpot right now to afford one , but would buy one in a nano second. I'm 61 yo and my current mount is 9 yo with 114+K on the clock and going strong so if I NEED another bike I would probably go with a lightly used 10th Anny or Ness Vision or BMW GTL 1600. I base my choices strictly on the engineering which speaks to me above all other things about a motorcycle.

Polaris has learned that to compete with HD they will have to create strong brand loyalty-an emotional connection, and they realized that you can't do that selling a brand in the same building with Yamahas and Hondas. The quality of the bike itself matters less to people that joining a club. It's all about branding. People are stupid. Look at the WH.
